I'm attempting to manage my network interfaces through a homebrew module that takes input from hiera, and then uses augeas to define each ifcfg-*.
Example: /* Set manditory parameters */ augeas { "eth_bond_${name}" : context => "/files/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-${name}", changes => [ "set DEVICE ${name}", "set BONDING_OPTS '\"mode=${mode} miimon=${miimon}\"'", "set BOOTPROTO none", "set USERCTL no", "set ONBOOT yes", "set MTU ${mtu}", "set IPADDR ${ip}", "set NETMARK ${netmask}", ], notify => Exec["if-refresh-${name}"], } When I try and set something like BONDING_OPTS="mode=0 miimon=100" I get the following in Puppet debug: Augeas[eth_bond_bond0](provider=augeas): Opening augeas with root /, lens path , flags 0 debug: Augeas[eth_bond_bond0](provider=augeas): Augeas version 0.9.0 is installed debug: Augeas[eth_bond_bond0](provider=augeas): sending command 'set' with params ["/files/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0/DEVICE", "bond0"] debug: Augeas[eth_bond_bond0](provider=augeas): sending command 'set' with params ["/files/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0/BONDING_OPTS", "mode=0 miimon=100"] debug: Augeas[eth_bond_bond0](provider=augeas): sending command 'set' with params ["/files/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0/BOOTPROTO", "none"] debug: Augeas[eth_bond_bond0](provider=augeas): sending command 'set' with params ["/files/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0/USERCTL", "no"] debug: Augeas[eth_bond_bond0](provider=augeas): sending command 'set' with params ["/files/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0/ONBOOT", "yes"] debug: Augeas[eth_bond_bond0](provider=augeas): sending command 'set' with params ["/files/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0/MTU", "9344"] debug: Augeas[eth_bond_bond0](provider=augeas): sending command 'set' with params ["/files/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0/IPADDR", "192.168.1.100"] debug: Augeas[eth_bond_bond0](provider=augeas): sending command 'set' with params ["/files/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0/NETMARK", "255.0.0.0"] debug: Augeas[eth_bond_bond0](provider=augeas): Closed the augeas connection err: /Stage[main]/Networking/Networking::Bond[bond0]/Augeas[eth_bond_bond0]/returns: change from need_to_run to 0 failed: Save failed with return code false notice: /Stage[main]/Networking/Networking::Bond[bond0]/Exec[if-refresh-bond0]: Dependency Augeas[eth_bond_bond0] has failures: true warning: /Stage[main]/Networking/Networking::Bond[bond0]/Exec[if-refresh-bond0]: Skipping because of failed dependencies I also can't seem to get that value saved using augtool either, here's what I get # cat ifcfg-bond0 BOOTPROTO=none ONBOOT=yes MTU=4000 IPADDR=192.168.1.100 NETMARK=255.0.0.0 DEVICE=bond0 # augtool augtool> set /files/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0/BONDING_OPTS '\"mode=0 miimon=100\"' augtool> save error: Failed to execute command error: saving failed (run 'print /augeas//error' for details) augtool> print /augeas//error /augeas/files/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0/error = "put_failed" /augeas/files/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0/error/path = "/files/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0" /augeas/files/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0/error/lens = "/usr/share/augeas/lenses/dist/shellvars.aug:61.12-.77:" /augeas/files/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0/error/message = "Malformed child node 'BONDING_OPTS'" Any ideas? The documentation on Puppet Augeas ( http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/1/wiki/Puppet_Augeas#ifcfg+BONDING_OPTS) has this exact example, so I figured there's something very obvious I'm overlooking that's keeping this from working. Currently affected host and Puppet master are 2.6.16, CentOS 6.2, augeas-0.9.0. Thanks - Trey -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
